Interpreting Data Unit 1

How to Start Start on outside: Inside Graph: Find IV & DV X & Y-axis explain what graphs tell you Inside Graph: Look for trends in graphs increasing, decreasing, same Find IV & DV

Interpreting How can data answer question that is being investigated Compare info from data to what you already know

Example 1 Graph the data table shown Title the graph Make a hypothesis Make 3 points of analysis about the graphed information

Title of Example 1 The temperature in degrees Celsius as a function of the depth below the Earth’s surface.

Hypothesis for Example 1 If the depth below Earth’s surface increases, then the temperature increases because the Earth’s core is extremely hot. Therefore, the deeper you go the hotter it should become

Trends in Example 1 Constant increases in temp. as travel further below Earth’s surface Support: Depth :1 km Temperature: 50o C Depth: 4 km Temperature: 150o C

Predictions Could you use the data about temperatures beneath Earth’s surface to predict the temperature at 9km beneath Earth’s surface?
